Already in the release note was seen that the drop chance runes to improve general.

From the patch files has user "Dazmogan" now read the current values:

• Zod - x4
• Jah & Cham - x3
• Sur & Ber - x2, 3
• Ohm & Lo - x1, 78
• Gul & Vex - x1, 45
• If time & - x1, 18

Thus, the drop rate increases are less dramatic than many expected. A big difference will probably find only the most active players among you who are regular Highrunes.

It remains to be seen whether it is really the last dupe method was corrected by the Realm. Otherwise, a balance of rune drops were quickly down the drain.
